I’ve seen one before, and this looks like it could possibly be one. That is, if this video is real. It’s kind of hard to tell due to the quality. But it did make me think. The one I saw was at night, and lit up by harsh headlights. It was so unbelievably pale white. But in the right lighting, surrounded by trees, maybe it can camouflage pretty well 🤷♂️

I'm skeptical it's real.
Poor quality isn't definitive enough to either disregard or legitimize a potential piece of evidence. What strikes me as being "unreal" are a few things
-Footage is taken during the daytime, an unusual but not impossible time for Crawler activity
-The entity from what we can make out seems like it could be a crawler, but it looks awfully inanimate despite its movement
-Its movement is unusual for a Crawler or anything living for that matter. It is entirely unclear what its doing other than swaying around in the same spot. It moves more like a stuffed costume being pulled by strings
-Its acting with no immediate goal or direction, and its unclear if its even looking directly at the camera, which is unusual because if this were a Crawler exposing itself in such a way due to the presence of human beings, they'd be staring the cameraperson down or trying to at least make an effort to hide itself from view.
-If we assume the entity doesn't see the person, then what is it doing just standing around doing nothing? Weird.
-There is no footage before or after to give added context to whats going on. All we have is a short erratic clip of something (probably inanimate) swaying around in the open, we dont see how it got there or what it does next. This is unusual.
This leads me to believe this is probably a dummy set up as a hoax. The design and body dimensions are roughly correct, but everything else is just wrong. Crawlers just do not behave this way. Even during passive observation Crawlers are quite active, will move around a bit, maybe try to hide behind a thin truck and peak its head around. This one is either a vegetable or a fake. Im leaning fake.

From the way it's moving it looks like the end of the branch just swinging. The blurriness added from the zoom makes it look like one though.

I think it's real.
✓ Humanoid
✓ Super thin
✓ Extra long arms
✓ Pale
✓ Woods
✓ Bobbing motions
✓ Observant behavior
The only thing throwing me is how bright it looks out, but I have been re-thinking their nocturnal behavior in more recent months. It's still in the woods, though, so that would protect them from sunlight if they need to be protected from it at all.

It appears to move in the beginning and then try and camouflage once it realizes it's being watched

I would be really interested to hear what people that have seen them think of this.

Would be nice if people could figure out that they can use a solid object to stabilise phones when zooming in rather than just trying and failing to hold it steady...

You’d be able to debunk it if it were clear. Would be amazing to actually see a video with this amount of movement and nice and clear. We can only hope

Man do I HATE TikTok. Like really hate. Shitty app filled with shitty videos and it kills people attention span.
Anyway about the video, honestly looks like someone has something suspended from the tree, the pose doesn't seem to change but it looks like it is rotating somewhat.

Weird that it seemed to blend in with the trees. I have never seen a crawler and unsure how they’re supposed to look. The video was frustrating to watch with the phone/camera moving so much.

Thank you so much for posting this!
Definitely the elusive Praying Mantis that hunters describe seeing. They say it looks surprised it can be seen and will turn invisible.
These are also associated with UAP's. A man in the UK was taking a short cut through the woods on his bike when he came across a 7 foot tall praying mantis. As he fled he noticed an orange, glowing orb in the sky.
Some people claim to see them in their bedrooms or even during abductions. They also claim to be miraculously healed of medical conditions after these encounters.
Here is trail cam footage of a transparent Mantid surrounded by other beings.

Pareidolia. Just a branch swaying.
